review 1: The five-star rating is not only for this volume, but for the series as a whole. I read the final three volumes in the last week. I tried to read them slowly to savor them, but found I couldn't. The writing throughout the series has been amazing, and by the end, everything pays off. Vertigo has published some great series - 100 Bullets, Y: The Last Man - and this ranks right up there with the best of them. R.M. Guera's art meshes with Jason Aaron's story perfectly, and even when there were fill-in artists (in earlier volumes), they managed to capture the feel and mood that is Scalped. I can't praise Jason Aaron enough for his writing here, especially considering that he barely wrote any comics prior to beginning Scalped. I'm sorry to see he's moved on to super-hero books (... moreparticularly those with an X in their title) and hope he returns to doing some creator-owned work sometime soon. Now that I've finished it, I look forward to re-reading this entire series from the beginning again. I read the first half of Scalped in monthly issues, and the last half in trades. I'll bet I like it even more, reading it as one continuous story from beginning to end.
review 2: Well the tale came to an appropriate close and quite honestly I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. The series read like a wild movie with twists and turns that wrenched at your instincts and yet provided visceral satisfaction. The characters were flawed yet real enough that the reader could identify and relate.This has been my second Graphic Novel series, the Sandman being the last, and I'm definitely hooked on the medium. Not sure what I'll dive into next, but being so new to this genre I have some fantastic options. less
